The complete Muslim dynasty ruled India from 1210-1526. from the years 1210-1290 was the Slave dynasty, it was called this because the rulers were originally military slaves. Qutb ud-Din founded the line of rulers for this dynasty, he was not one of them, but he did call himself Sultan of Dehli. Iltutmish (1210–35) and Balban (1266–87) were among the dynasty's most illustrious rulers. Under the Khalji dynasty (1290–1320), the conquests of Ala ud-Din Khalji brought Muslim dominion in India to its greatest height until the Mughul empire. The Sultanate's power was at its greatest during this time, but when Timur invaded (1398-1399) this power was destroyed. It recovered during the Lodi (Afghan) dynasty (1451 – 1526). Then it fell again to Babur (1526).
